No need to waste time endlessly browsing—here's the entire lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
I wanted to get more informed about the reservation system in India and what more interesting way to than watch a movie on it. But this movie is not about Aarakshan, it is about commercialization of education and corruption. It does not even remotely tries to go deep into the topic, and except Amitabh Bachchan none of the actors were given much to explore their character. No wonder it got released, because it is a general movie and does not give a clear answer about Aarakshan.
